Simple & Quick: Ready in about 20 minutes, these pops are a breeze to whip up.
Irresistible Flavor: The combination of rich chocolate, soft marshmallow, and crunchy graham crackers is simply irresistible.
Eye-Catching Appeal: These treats are not only delicious but look adorable with their colorful coating.
Flexible Serving: Perfect for parties, cookouts, or a rainy day snack.
Diet-Friendly Options: Easily adaptable with gluten-free graham crackers and dairy-free chocolate.

Ingredients You’ll Need

12 regular-size marshmallows: These fluffy treats serve as the base. Use standard marshmallows for the best results.
12 lollipop sticks: Essential for easy handling. Can be replaced with sturdy skewers if necessary.
2 (1.55 ounce) Hershey’s milk chocolate bars: This creamy chocolate melts perfectly, providing a rich coating. Feel free to swap for dark chocolate or a dairy-free alternative if desired.
⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs: These give the pops their classic s’mores flavor. Crushed Oreos can be a fun substitute for a different taste.

How to Make S’mores Marshmallow Pops

Prepare Your Workspace: Line a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help in keeping your pops from sticking.
Insert Lollipop Sticks: Carefully push one lollipop stick into the center of each marshmallow, taking care not to pierce through the other side.
Melt the Chocolate: Break the Hershey’s chocolate bars into smaller pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Set Up Your Coating: Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a separate bowl. You want this ready for when the chocolate is melted.
Dip the Marshmallows: Take one marshmallow and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s well-coated on all sides.
Coat with Graham Crackers: After dipping, immediately roll the chocolate-covered marshmallow in the graham cracker crumbs so that they stick.
Place on Parchment: Gently place the finished pop on the parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. This prevents them from sticking and keeps them looking neat.
Repeat the Process: Keep dipping and coating each marshmallow until all are finished.
Refrigerate to Firm Up: Chill the pops in the refrigerator for about 5 to 10 minutes, just until the chocolate has set. Remove them once they are firm to the touch.

Storing & Reheating

Store your S’mores Marshmallow Pops at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for a week or freeze them for up to 3 months. Make sure to layer them with parchment paper to avoid sticking. If they become a bit soft after refrigeration, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying again, as the chocolate might lose a bit of its shine.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Be gentle when inserting the lollipop sticks to avoid breaking the marshmallows.
Make sure your chocolate is completely melted and smooth; this helps the graham cracker crumbs adhere properly.
If using dark chocolate, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor contrast.
Feel free to experiment with different coatings, such as coconut flakes or crushed nuts, for added texture and taste.
Make these in advance for parties—just store them properly, and they will hold up well.

These S’mores Marshmallow Pops are a treat you’ll find hard to resist, combining classic flavors in a fun new way. Just think of all the occasions that could be brightened by busting these out! Whether it’s a birthday party, holiday gathering or simply a cozy get-together with friends, these pops are sure to impress while evoking that nostalgic s’mores charm we all love.

Recipe FAQs

How can I make these pops gluten-free?

You can easily make S’mores Marshmallow Pops gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers or by substituting with crushed gluten-free cookies, like Oreos. Additionally, make sure the chocolate is gluten-free as well.

Can I use different types of chocolate for the coating?

Absolutely! While Hershey’s milk chocolate is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with dark chocolate or even white chocolate. Each type brings a unique flavor to the pops, allowing you to customize them to your taste.

How do I prevent the chocolate from hardening too quickly?

When melting chocolate, ensure that you do it slowly at low power (like in 15-second intervals in the microwave) to keep a smooth consistency. If you find the chocolate hardening too fast, you can add a small amount of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to make it easier to dip.

What’s the best way to store leftover pops?

To keep your S’mores Marshmallow Pops fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for about a week. If you choose to freeze them, ensure they are well-wrapped to maintain their texture—just remember they may lose some shine upon thawing.
